Just ran Recuva and it looks as if CHKDSK DID in fact delete near all of my recovery partition files, WITHOUT WARNING! A lot of files unrecoverable even though I haven't written or changed data on the partition:
Never EVER going to allow CHKDSK to run again, as deleting files without warning is unacceptable! I am very happy that Linux is my main OS, and so all of my important files are on EXT4 partitions, Where Windows and CHKDSK can't get to! Looks like i'm going to have to re-download the drivers manually.
